Warren Bondo only joined AC Milan in February, but he already feels very welcomed into the club, due to existing relationships and an unlikely bond.
A move for Bondo always felt possible, considering his roots, the previous interest and the connection between Monza and Milan. However, for the move to happen as and when it did, it was certainly a shock.
As a result of Ismael Bennacer’s forced move, the Frenchman arrived in the winter mercato as a replacement, though he spent his first few weeks sidelined through injury. Nevertheless, he made his first start this weekend and proved his worth, even if he did not do anything major.
Joining a club like the Rossoneri has the potential to be difficult, considering his age and his relative unknownness in the game. However, he admitted that he has been well supported internally, in an interview with Footmercato.net, and Milan News have relayed his words.
How is your integration in the club going? What role have the French players had in the team?
“They made me feel welcome. Youssouf [Fofana], Rafael [Leão], who speaks very good French… As for Rafael, you should know that I knew him well thanks to my former teammate at Monza, Dany Mota, who also speaks French. He is a friend of his and I was always with him. So there was a bond between us and Rafael was happy with my arrival.
“With the French it was natural. In the canteen I sat directly next to Youssouf, Mike, Théo… They made it easier for me to integrate and every day I observe their working methods. They are champions.”
Better not to imitate them, but pay attention to how Cante played in Leicester and Chelsea or how Gattuso played defense. If you want to become a top player, I gave you free advice.
I sincerely wish that Bondo comes here to read the advices of « Ibrakadabra » on how to become a successful football champion rather than France starters, World Cup finalists and Scudetto winners Théo and Mike.
Oh Barto, where have you been all this time? I was scared that you didn’t go to Sempreinter 🤣. The comparison I was making is for effort, not skill. And yes, those with skills are far away compared to the 2022 final. If you want to say that their advocacy is good, then go back to Sempreinter. If you want to say that with both goals (outside the box) Bondo did well to run lightly, then you are a great expert and I take my hat off to you.
He’s gonna follow Musaahh,
These types of players are useless.. cannot be in the top teams. imo.
just okay in fairly small teams. don’t believe? Let’s see! 😉
Bondo seems like a nice guy but there was no need to sign him.Even if Bennacer left
Could’ve given these minutes to Zeroli instead
This player just came to eat and then went back to his Monzo team 😂😂
